SPG platinum- if you redeem points will they still upgrade you if there's suites available?

Yes.

Cool thx

If you want to give yourself a higher chance at an upgrade, call around 10-11am the day of and speak to the front desk manager. That's when they assign rooms and you can make a humble request then. Assuming on a points reservation it's potentially for a vacation where a suite is more desirable.

Above strategy doesn't work if you do it too often. Only use it when you really need it.

I've only not been upgraded once with points.. It was the W Hollywood when there was an awards show happening
